There are ways to change the language of the game (reinstalling is probably the easiest but not the fastest, but it's possible to tinker with some files too - never done it myself, though). No idea if it's possible to change to something entirely different than what's already available . would require a full edit of the language files is my guess.

Like I said, haven't tried this, so try at your own risk, and
backup your game first just to be on the safe side - be warned that townies (new ones, anyway) may switch makes to whatever language you choose.
I think it will only support languages that already exist as options, and fonts may not be supported ingame unless they're already supported by the game. No idea if it's possible to fix it, but there's probably some modder who can prove the theory wrong.
If you made a "default replacement" language instead of one of the languages you don't use, maybe? But that would require a whole lot of work.
A lot of non-AZ characters (mostly various Asian languages) have pie menus that show up blank in my game, mainly poseboxes and older content. Not sure if it's due to font use or the characters, but most of the time it still shows up in SimPE, so I'm guessing it's either the fonts or some kind of special characters that aren't supported by the game.
